IS THIS

ETM7172 OPTICAL COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS

21

Simple Calculation.
Fiber Loss = 0.25 dB/km X 185 km
= 46.3 dB
Splice Loss

= 0.1 dB X 46
= 4.6 dB
Connector Loss
= 0.2 dB X 2
= 0.4 dB
Total Losses = 46.3 + 4.6 +

How To
Answer
Place an
Solve?
But

amplifier
? What is the gain value?

And

Where is the location?

ETM7172 OPTICAL COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS

MultimediaUniversity

23

First we calculate the amplifiers gain..


Gain PSEN - PRX
Gain -28 (-57.3)
Gain 29.3 dB
To make it easy,Gain 30 dB
NowWhere to put the
amplifier?
ETM7172 OPTICAL COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS

MultimediaUniversity

24

Three choices available


for the location
Power Amplifier At the transmitter

Preamplifier At the receiver

In Line Any point along fiber

ETM7172 OPTICAL COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS

MultimediaUniversity

25

Let us check one by one


Power Amplifier: PTX + Gain =
POUT
0 + 30 = 30
dBm
But is there any power amplifier with 30 dBm
POUT?
NO, THERE ISNT

Hence

ETM7172 OPTICAL COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS

MultimediaUniversity

26

What about Preamplifier?


Remember
POUT received = -57
dBm
Preamplifier with 30 dB available?
Yes
But, can it take 57 dBm?
Typically, NO
Hence

ETM7172 OPTICAL COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS

MultimediaUniversity

27

Let us check In Line Amplifiers


30 dB gain amplifier available here
But,

What value can it take?


Typically 30 dBm

So

Now, we can find the location


ETM7172 OPTICAL COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS

MultimediaUniversity

28

Where is the 30 dBm point?


PTX Loss At That Point = 0 dBm 30
dB
Loss At That Point = -30 dBm
Assume Other Loss = 0, Loss At That Point = Fiber Loss,

30 = x Length of That
Point
Remember = 0.25,
Point Length = 30/0.25
= 120 km
But 120 km from Tx,
No. of splice = 120/4
= 30
Splice Loss = 0.1 dB x 30 = 3 dB
ETM7172 OPTICAL COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS

MultimediaUniversity

29

Also remember connector loss at amplifier and Tx


+ 1 connector at Tx

2 connectors

Connector Loss = 0.2 dB x 3 = 0.6 dB

Actually, at 120 km,


Total Losses = Fiber Loss + Splice Loss + Connector Loss
= 30 + 3 + 0.6 = 33.6 dB
33.6 dB > 30 dB!! NOT GOOD!
Now, We have excess of 3.6 dBFind the distance,
Fiber Loss Length = 3.6/0.25 = 14.4 km
Good Location = 120 km 14.4 km = 105.6 km
ETM7172 OPTICAL COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS

MultimediaUniversity

30

Let us confirm the answer


At 105.6 km from Tx,
Fiber Loss = 0.25 x 105.6 = 26.4 dB
No. of Splice at 105.6 km = 105.6/4 =26.4 = 27
Splice Loss = 0.1 x 27 = 2.7 dB
Total Losses = 26.4 + 2.7 = 29.1 dB
29.1 dB < 30 dB !!
CONFIRM105.6 KM IS A GOOD LOCATION!!

What is a good Rise time?


For a good reception of signal
Tsys < 0.7 x Pulse Width (PW)

PW = 1/BitRate for NRZ


1/2BitRate for RZ

ETM7172 OPTICAL COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS

Example:
Rise Time Budget Measurement
for Long Haul Application
Tx rise time, TTX = 0.1
ns
Rx rise time, TRX= 0.5
ns
Linewidth()
= 0.15 nm
Dispersion Coefficient, D = 18 ps/nm-km
Fiber length = 150km
Bit Rate = 622Mbps
Format = RZ

ETM7172 OPTICAL COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS

MultimediaUniversity

38

Simple Calculation.
Fiber rise time, TF =Length x D x
Linewidth() = 150 km x 18 x 0.15 nm
= 0.4 ns
Total Rise time, TSYS = 1.1 TLS2 + TPD2 +
TF2
= 1.1 0.01 + 0.25 + 0.16

TSYS = 0.77 ns

ETM7172 OPTICAL COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS

MultimediaUniversity

39

Let say,
Bit Rate = STM 4 = 622 Mbps
Format = RZ
Tsys < 0.7 x Pulse Width (PW)
Pulse Width (PW) = 1/(622x106)
= 1.6 ns
0.77 ns < 0.7 x 1.6
ns
0.77 ns < 1.1 ns !!

Good Rise Time Budget!!


ETM7172 OPTICAL COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS

MultimediaUniversity

40

Let say,
Bit Rate = STM 16 = 2.5 Gbps
Format = RZ
Tsys < 0.7 x Pulse Width (PW)
Pulse Width (PW) = 1/(2.5x109)
= 0.4 ns
0.77 ns < 0.7 x 0.4
ns
0.77 ns 0.28 ns !!

Sensitivity Analysis
Minimum optical power that must
be present at the receiver in order
to achieve the performance level
required for a given system.

ETM7172 OPTICAL COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS

45

Factors will affect this analysis


1. Source Intensity Noise - Refers to noise generated by the
LED or Laser
Phase Noise - the difference in the phases of two
optical wavetrains separated by time, cut out of the
optical wave
Amplitude Noise - caused by the laser emission
process.
2. Fiber Noise
Relates to modal partition noise
3. Receiver Noise
Photodiode, conversion resistor
ETM7172 OPTICAL COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS

4. Time Jitter and Intersymbol Interference


Time Jitter - short term variation or instability in the
duration of a specified interval
Intersymbol Interference
result of other bits interfering with the bit of interest
inversely proportional to the bandwidth
Eye diagrams - to see the effects of time jitter and
intersymbol interference

ETM7172 OPTICAL COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS

5. Bit error rate


- main quality criterion for a digital
transmission system
BER = Q [IMIN2/ (4 . N0 . B) ]
where :
N0 = Noise power spectral density (A2/Hz)
IMIN = Minimum effective signal amplitude (Amps)
B = Bandwidth
Q(x) = Cumulative distribution function (Gaussian distribution)

Summary
The key factors that determine how far one can
transmit over fiber are transmitter optical output
power, operating wavelength, fiber attenuation,
fiber bandwidth and receiver optical sensitivity.
The decibel (dB) is a convenient means of
comparing two power levels.
The optical link loss budget analyzes a link to
ensure that sufficient power is available to meet
the demands of a given application.
ETM7172 OPTICAL COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS

52

Summary
Rise and fall times determine the overall response
time and the resulting bandwidth.
A sensitivity analysis determines the amount of
optical power that must be received for a system to
perform properly.
Bit errors may be caused by source intensity noise,
fiber noise, receiver noise, time jitter and
intersymbol interference.
The five characteristics of a pulse are rise time,
period, fall time, width and amplitude.
